A must have book for every person who is willing to start business, and in the business as well.


Go for it and have it for your journey. Read and re-read it.

I bought this book to prepare for an innovation entrepreneurship competition so as to learn how to write a business model. But writing a business model is only a part of this book's scheme. As a whole, it gives a complete view of what entrepreneurship is, how to launch a profitable, innovative business. It is much practical than being a theoretical framework of the new-business making profession.

This book was written as a part of a series of business books by Harvard Business Press. To understand business as a whole, it may not be enough, definitely we need to understand the categories and parts of business making, not just its ramifications. But as for the topic "entrepreneurship", to a young learner like me, it is a very friendly book and deceptively a master=piece!
